Site Redevlopment and Changes
Submitted by Site Development on Thu, 2007-06-28 09:02. Kent County Council | Margate | Parliament | Thanet District Council | Manston Airport | Help & Advice | Things to see and do | Ramsgate | St. Peters | Broadstairs | Manston | Dane Valley | Millmead | NewingtonThis site does not fullfill it's original purpose and so must be changed.
To this end we are going to start afresh splitting the site into three or more unique sites each with a unique domain name.
We will in time produce a search engine specifically for thanet content.
None of us intended to become administrators of a large and unwieldy system to complex for the average web user to consider using. But we have become this.
Content Guidlines
Submitted by Lord Matt on Wed, 2006-07-19 07:34. Help & AdviceThis page is intended to provide an overview of the content types and roughly how they should and could be used. These notes should not, however, be allowed to interfere with the ability of members to provide informative content and to put the council in the spot light and keep it there.
Forum Post vs Story
Should I post a forum topic or a story?
If in doubt post it as a forum topic. Forum topics and stories both promote to the front page but age differently.
There is plenty of grey area between the two types and it is often a matter of personal judgement. However giving a little consideration as to where other members might look for such a topic will give you a good guide as to where you might like to put it.

Submitted by Lord Matt on Tue, 2006-10-31 20:37. Kent County Council | Thanet District Council | Help & AdviceThe Thanet Times (Tuesday, October 31, 2006) wanted to shock us with the "fact" that we have 119 registered sex offenders living in Thanet with a population of 120,000.
Then without converting to a compariable measure they state the Kent average is 59 per 100,000.
Matt looks at the numbers and shows us what they mean
Jargon Buster
Submitted by Admin on Sat, 2006-10-21 12:05. Help & AdviceThere are all sorts of strange words on this site that might not be obviouse as to what they mean.
Some are here because the software that runs the site is quirky and old (Also covered here) and some are here because thetechnology of the web is quirky and relativly new.
This page will try to clear up some of the worst of it for you.

Free milk for pregnant mothers - the address!
Submitted by TDC Exposer on Tue, 2006-07-11 15:47. Help & AdviceThe NHS Welfare Food Scheme provides free milk for pregnant women. However to get this you must fill out a form that is only available online.
The free milk for pregnant mothers leaflet is supposed to be given to midwives but it is not it sems.
The downloaded pdf version of the NHS free milk for pregnant women leaflet contains the form that must be printed off and returned in "the envelope provided with your pack".
The address appears to be utterly unavailable on the website.
Cleaverly this stops the NHS needing to pay for milk that women can not get.
Well, lets put a stop to that - the address you need is this:
